Chapter 175: with translation of chapter title

we already did.

Translation: "The depth of the Ash Plains battlefield reaches nearly a thousand kilometers; as a battlefield, such a vast range is actually quite unreasonable."

Check: keep numbers exactly: nearly a thousand kilometers. Could be "nearly a thousand kilometers". Good.

we did.

Translation: "But this is after all a game; to divide battlefield monsters into different levels for players, only a vast depth can be used to carve out areas."

we did.

Translation: "The entire battlefield is divided into three major sectors—eastern, southern, and northern fronts—plus four depth distinctions: first line, second line, second front line, and first front line."

We need to keep terms: eastern front, southern front, northern front, first defense line, second defense line, second front line, first front line. Should we translate? They are not proper names; they are descriptive. According to rules, we translate meaning. So "eastern front", etc. Good.

"..."

Translation: "The deeper one goes, the higher the monster density and strength become."

"..."

"..."

Translation: "Xiao Feng rode the Thunder God, flying straight ahead at an altitude of 300 meters; in just half an hour he passed the second line and second front line, reaching the foremost area."

"..."

Translation: "Near the first front line, all the foot soldiers are levels 180-200, and a single minor monster yields 8-10 contribution points."

"..."

Translation: "Moreover, the monsters appear in swarms, often in groups of hundreds or thousands; for ordinary players, it's questionable whether they can even fight, let alone survive to reach this place."

"..."

We need to keep quotation marks? The source uses Chinese quotes 「」. We should keep them as English quotes? Usually we replace with English quotation marks. The instruction: Render onomatopoeia/sound effects as English sound words, but not about quotes. We'll translate the content, using English quotation marks. So: ""Such dense monsters, the total number is probably over a million...""

But we need to keep the ellipsis? The source has 「……」。 We'll keep three dots.

Thus: ""Such dense monsters, the total number is probably over a million...""

"..."

Translation: "Xiao Feng thought to himself."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Translation: "And the battlefield monsters spawned for players to farm are not counted within that."

"..."

Translation: "Otherwise, if hundreds of millions of players swarmed in, a mere million monsters would be far insufficient to split; within three days, the Abyss army would be wiped out."

"..."

Translation: "Besides the demon army, the front lines also have human camp bases where players can enter to rest, or replenish potions and repair equipment."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Translation: "The map does not show the location of the Abyss army's main base; one can only explore it oneself."

"..."

Translation: "Xiao Feng gazed into the distance from the air, searching all around; occasionally he saw some camps and fortresses, which appeared to be heavily populated."

"..."

"..."

Thus: "But he did not find any massive city construction like the Firewood Fire Fortress."

"..."

Translation: ""Speaking of which, the international server has also opened battlefield gameplay; I don't know what their battlefield looks like...""

"..."

Translation: "Xiao Feng suddenly thought of a question, and mused to himself."

"..."

Translation: "Previously he had unlocked War City and opened the battlefield gameplay."

"..."

Translation: "This gameplay is aimed at the entire war zone."

"..."

Translation: "He used to think there was only one battlefield, where everyone fought in the same place, so he could meet foreigners."

"..."

Translation: "As it turned out, even the battlefields within Longguo were divided into three, and the international server's was naturally independent, not mixed together."

"..."

Translation: "This left Xiao Feng very disappointed."

"..."

Translation: "He had originally wanted to treat foreigners as monsters to kill..."

"..."

"..."

Thus: "Thunder God continued forward, flying for another ten-odd minutes, and his surroundings no longer showed any trace of human Players and NPCs."

"..."

Translation: "In the distance ahead, a massive camp came into view."

"..."

Translation: "The entire camp resembled a gigantic lung organ, spread out on the ground, emitting red and white colors."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Translation: ""This should be the main base; just find the central commander's tent...""

"..."

"..."

Thus: "Xiao Feng's mission was to obtain the demon army's military map, clarify the troop deployment, and report to Yisiben."

"..."

Translation: "Moreover, he needed to kill a few demon commanders to customize mythic gear."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

We have quotes around Thunder God again. We'll translate: ""You have entered a no-fly zone; your mount 'Thunder God' is suppressed and cannot fly, forcibly recalled.""

"..."

Translation: "Then..."

"..."

Again Thunder God. So: "Thunder God vanished into thin air, directly dumped by the system into the mount space."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Translation: "Xiao Feng blinked in surprise."

"..."

Translation: "Immediately, his whole body began to fall toward the ground."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Translation: "Xiao Feng was dumbfounded; he never expected such a thing to happen in this world."

"..."

Translation: "At an altitude of 300 meters!"

"..."

Translation: "If he fell, wouldn't he shatter into eighteen pieces?"

"..."

Translation: ""Quick, look! A human fell from the sky!""

"..."

Translation: ""Hahaha, foolish humans, daring to fly above the Demon Lord's head—what audacity!""

"..."

Translation: ""He's done, he's done; this fall will surely kill him, not even a whole bone left.""

"..."

Translation: ""Come on, let's go pick up the corpse to eat!""

"..."

Translation: "A group of demon soldiers who witnessed his fall excitedly gathered around."

"..."

Translation: "Xiao Feng didn't hear those conversations, but he knew he couldn't die from the fall!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Translation: "Xiao Feng wanted to cast a spell to lessen the force of his descent."

"..."

Translation: "As a result..."

"..."

Translation: ""No levitation-type skills can be used in the no-fly zone!""

"..."

Translation: "The system popped up another prompt."

Wait the user's list after 【144】 is:

Translation: "Xiao Feng felt like cursing someone."

"Earth Element Shield!"

Water Shield!

Little Fire Person!

He was so anxious he unleashed three instant-cast skills in a row.

The Elemental Shield wrapped around him was actually useless, because it couldn't negate the true damage of a high-altitude fall.

The Water Shield could provide some buffering, but it was quite limited, since falling from a height into water was hardly different from hitting the ground.

The Little Fire Person, however, was quite useful!

The Little Fire Person was his true-life substitute!

Thud!

Xiao Feng fell from the sky, smashing into the water shield, and then smashing into the Little Fire Person that was four meters tall.

The Little Fire Person, with its half-virtual, half-solid body, bore the impact of his fall for him.

This smash deformed the Little Fire Person's body directly under Xiao Feng, splitting it in half down the middle, then slowly recombining into one.

Above their heads appeared damage numbers of -180,000 and -60,000 respectively.

The -60,000 was Xiao Feng's; thanks to the Little Fire Person's sacrificial rescue, he finally didn't get smashed to death.

"Damn, I wanted to make a stunning entrance, unleash a Dragon Breath to shock the demon army, but I never expected it to turn out like this!" Xiao Feng, looking dejected, climbed up from the ground, took a 【Great Restoration Pill】 and swallowed it, refilling his HP.

At this point he was somewhat disheveled; although he hadn't died, his appearance was completely messed up.

A group of demon tribe soldiers surrounded him, numbering several hundred, including lesser monsters, squad leaders, high-ranking officers, and even a mythic-level demon commander.

Leading them was a level 240 high-ranking demon commander; seeing Xiao Feng's disheveled state, he sneered, "Human adventurer, are you from Cast Net? Someone as weak as you, we find it hard to bring ourselves to kill you."

This demon commander wasn't just high-level; his stature was also considerable, at least six or seven meters tall, resembling an upright-walking giant crocodile, ferocious and brutal.

Although he spoke of not being able to bring himself to strike, his expression didn't look merciful or lenient at all.

Xiao Feng brushed the dust from his robe, helplessly saying, "Sorry for making you all laugh. Actually I came to fight; I have no other intention—I just want to kill everyone here, or be killed by them."

Having said that, he produced the Shrieking Harpy Staff and directly pushed out a Fire Resistance Ring.
